I had a great stay at Dawns place - clean tidy and welcoming. Lovely location in a pretty village.

Jane2016-02-20T00:00:00Z

A beautiful warm cottage in such beautiful surroundings. Dawn was so generous with her hospitality too.

Susannah2016-11-15T00:00:00Z

Dawn wasn't present on the day I visited but her communication before hand was great. She had a friend show us around her place as soon as we arrived and was very polite and friendly. Her cottage was indeed cozy and had all the necessary amenities. Very lovely and quaint, and a lovely area too. I stayed on the Monday night and had no problems sleeping, the road right outside seemed very quiet.

Jules2016-09-13T00:00:00Z

Dawn gave us a friendly greeting when we arrived and we felt very welcomed and trusted with her home as she was out most of the time. We had not expected breakfast but she offered us all of the basic ingredients in her kitchen to make our own.

Patsy2016-07-28T00:00:00Z

Dawn is the perfect host and encouraged me to treat her home as my home.

Terry2016-11-06T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful stay with Dawn. The house was lovely and Dawn made us feel extremely welcome. She even lent us some wellies and rain coats when it was very muddy, helped us to sort out taxis and helped us to bump start our car on the way home - above and beyond what we expected from an Airbnb host. Would definitely recommend! Other notes - parking was very easy and the village was great with plenty of amenities. We were staying there for the Download festival at Donington racecourse, which was in a good walking distance.

I provide cereals, toast, jam, eggs, fruit juice and hot drinks for breakfast.
Tea and coffee making facilities are available in the kitchen.

Various gift shops and a 'Sainsbury@s local' supermarket.

My first ever Airbnb experience has set the bar high. Extremely friendly and kind, I felt the hospitality was more than I could ever imagine. I fancied the option of retreating to my room or being social and having full use of the house. I did both and really enjoyed the new experience. I would definitely consider the Airbnb option in future. Hopefully all those offering rooms are just as friendly and accommodating. Thank you

I had a lovely stay with Lucy and Owen when I visited Melbourne for a wedding. They are a lovely welcoming couple with two lovely cats and made me feel very at home. Lucy was kind enough to offer me a lift to the the wedding and to post my coat back when I accidentally left it behind. The room is very comfortable with everything I could need. Melbourne is a lovely village and perfectly placed to stay for the wedding at Staunton Harold Hall. Thank you very much Lucy and Owen :)

Clare2017-07-23T00:00:00Z

Stayed one night as I had a family get together taking part just round the corner so the location was perfect. Much nicer than an impersonal hotel near the airport. Very welcoming hosts. Highly recommended.

Andrew2016-08-01T00:00:00Z

Luke's property in Melbourne was our first experience using Airbnb and it's fair to say that we will likely never use a conventional hotel again! The accommodation was better than described and was well presented, clean and well located. We only stayed for a weekend and spent little time in the house but would be keen to stay again in the future, perhaps for a longer duration. Luke was easy to communicate with and managed the details of our stay perfectly. We would certainly recommend this property to friends and family planning a trip to the area.

Chris2016-03-20T00:00:00Z

Great homely place to be. Kids loved it. Great entertainment with Sky and Good Internet connection. Melbourne was a classic quite town. Very clean and non-polluted and it gives a good break from city life.

Just a 10 minutes' walk from Donington Park (Paddock entrance), The Barn is the perfect base for up to four people to stay comfortably. This one-bedroom (and double sofa bed), well-equipped self-contained barn conversion has full kitchen, dining area, shower room, TV/DVD, Wifi, wood burner and beautiful garden views, as well as parking. Fantastic village pub approx. 15 minutes walk away.

Before being converted a few years ago, The Barn was a cart hovel for the main house, which we understand was the flour and water mill for Donington Manor in nearby Castle Donington.
The Barn is brilliantly located for events at Donington Park and it is just a 10 minutes' walk to the Paddock entrance.
The space is divided into a separate bedroom, which has an en-suite shower room (with electric shower and heated towel rail) as well as a wardrobe / storage cupboard. There is plenty of clothes storage and hanging space to make yourself at home and a comfy king-size bed. The curtains are also blackout lined to help you get a good night's sleep.
The living space is 'open plan', with the full kitchen in one corner. Facilities in the kitchen include kettle, toaster, four-ring ceramic hob, electric oven, dishwasher, microwave and fridge / freezer and there are glasses, plates etc. for at least six people.
Please note that there is no washing machine in The Barn, but we would be happy to offer access to this in the main house should you urgently need it.
There is seating for four people at the dining table alongside the kitchen and in the living area, there is a double sofa (sofa bed) and a separate arm chair and foot stool. There is a TV/DVD and Wifi, as well as a wood burning stove with enough logs supplied to keep you going for a couple of nights!
From every room in The Barn you'll get fantastic views of the garden where you should be able to spot lots of birds, maybe even the Kingfisher and Heron who love the pond. Whilst the pond is in the garden of the main house, please be aware of it if you're booking or staying with young children.
Whilst we are in the process of creating a much more private outside space for The Barn, there is an outside table and chair for guests. Additional outside seating can also be shared from the main house, if you require this.

The Barn is uniquely located within walking distance of Donington Park, making it the perfect base if you're attending Download or any of the motorsport events at the circuit. Access via the Paddock entrance is just 10 minutes' walk from the end of the drive.
The Cloud Trail - a walking and cycle track that runs from Worthington into Derby - is less than five minutes' walk from The Barn and there are lots of other local walking routes you can enjoy while staying here.
We're on the outskirts of the village of Wilson, which has a fantastic pub (The Bulls Head) that also serves food.

Beautiful barn in a stunning setting, with a couple of great dogs that come in and say hi throughout! Liz was very helpful and on hand to ask any questions should you need her too, but also gave privacy and left you to it. Will definitely stay again and recommend to anyone attending an event in Donnington Park.

Caroline2017-06-10T00:00:00Z

Fantastic accommodation in the most perfect location, would highly recommend to anyone.

James2017-06-18T00:00:00Z

I was in the area for a training course and found it much more comfortable and relaxing than the local/airport hotels that my fellow trainees normally stay at. Directions were clear, and the accommodation is as described. Aircraft noise was muted in the evening as the planes were nearly all landing. It was noisier in the morning as they took off, but that didn't bother me as I had to be up early. If you're thinking of a hotel, choose this instead.

Bob2017-07-23T00:00:00Z

Wonderful stay in a lovely barn. Work up in Derby but live in Suffolk so spend a night or two a week in this area. Only stumbled across The Barn recently and booked in for a 2 night stay. I met Elizabeth at check-in who was friendly and welcoming, as was the lab! The Barn has everything you need for a relaxing stay. Tea, coffee, hot chocolate and fresh milk was kindly left for me. The place was clean and tidy and decorated to a high standard. The open plan kitchen/living room is spacious and it is handy to have a full size fridge/freezer (there is a Tesco Extra ten min away). I cooked at The Barn both evenings and was pleased to find salt, pepper and ketchup waiting for me! The bed is large and comfortable and the shower clean. The Barn has glass windows all down one side but there are curtains you can close to make you feel cozy. The wifi connected to both my iPad and iPhone without a hitch and worked perfectly, as did the TV. There is parking for two cars outside and a small table and chairs for a glass of wine (which I sadly did not get a chance to use). The aeroplane noise is noticeable, and there were more flying over than I expected. However, it didn't stop me from sleeping and wasn't that audible when I was watching TV. If you were out and about enjoying the local area during the day it wouldn't bother you. I have already booked to stay again next week! Thank you Elizabeth :)

VICKI2017-08-23T00:00:00Z

Second stay at the lovely Barn. Spent a lovely two nights here whilst working nearby in Derby. Last night was greeted by two friendly faces as the dogs came to say hello and have a cuddle! Made my Tuesday evening :) The place was as great as last week - spacious, clean, comfy. Thank you!

VICKI2017-08-30T00:00:00Z

Really calm and peaceful stay in the countryside. The barn has all the amenities that you need and it proved to be a really comfortable stay. The host was really responsive to questions and even let us lie in a little longer on our final day.

Carla has made a very friendly environment. The local pathways lead to a variety of good places, including (15mins) to what I was there for - sailing at Staunton Harold.

Robert2017-08-05T00:00:00Z

Carla and Phil were dream hosts! We were so grateful to them before we even arrived as their correspondence was so kind and helpful. The room was very clean and comfortable and all our needs were met. They helped us beyond the call of duty as they offered us lifts in their car when the weather took an unexpected turn for the worse. Do not think twice, stay with Carla and Phil for the perfect homey stay in Melbourne!

Our recently decorated home is situated in the quaint historic village of Breedon on the Hill, conveniently close to Ashby de la Zouche and the Georgian market town of Melbourne. Breakfast is included.
For those travelling, we're 10 minutes from the A50 & the M1 and 5-10 minutes from the A42. We are also located 10 minutes from East Midlands Airport.
For sightseeing, we are within roughly 5m of Donnington Park, Staunton Harold and reservoir, Calke Abbey, Foremarke reservoir and Hicks Lodge.

Our house has been renovated over the last 12 months. The location is in a desirable area where neighbours know each other and is safe & welcoming.

Quiet village, with two local independent pubs, a Post Office and a butchers. There's also some lovely walks within 5-10 minutes walk away. A golf course is nearby alongside a gym.

This is a fabulous little find. The hosts are an absolutely lovely, welcoming couple who's hospitality is second to none. They have a great knowledge of the area and gave us suggestions for places to see and go. I was having a track day at Donnington Park - so this place is perfectly situated - 5 minutes away.....I really recommend them highly and I'm sure they will be an airbnb success.....

Gilly2017-08-23T00:00:00Z

Wonderful hosts with excellent communication, I was running a bit behind and was late getting in, but they were fine with that and waited for my arrival and got me settled in before they went to bed. Room was nice and cosy with a TV and kettle, everything I needed for the stay was provided. Woke up and was greeted by a nice selection for breakfast, looking forward to staying with Tim and Jess again on a regular basis as it's perfectly located for my work. Highly recommended accommodation!

In a beautiful row of lovely Georgian mews townhouses, this cottage is on two floors. It has been individually & eclectically decorated and is fully equipped and designed for 4 persons (ideally couples), each bedroom being en suite with a double bed in each.

This mews cottage is spacious (approx 85 m2), and appear to be bigger because they it has tall ceilings downstairs of approx 3.65m or higher!
It comprises a kitchen/diner, a downstairs WC, and a generous sitting room fitted with flat screen TV (with Freeview), stereo bluetooth music player and an internet connection.

Breedon on the Hill is a very pretty village with a spectacular church perched above it giving panoramic views across 4 counties. We are lucky to have 2 pubs, one 'gastro' and one 'traditional boozer' within 2 mins walk of our front door. There is also a very traditional butchers' shop, a Post Office and general store (tiny), Breedon Priory Golf Course has 18 holes and Breedon Priory Spa is very close, as is Langley Priory's Owl House Spa for ultimate pampering!
This cottage is one of three identical Mews houses which can all be hired collectively as Breedon Hall is available for Weddings and events with up to 150 guests in a marquee. Just make an enquiry if you'd like to know more.

Lovely cottage. Just the right size. Not too small and not too big. Off road parking and very quiet.

We were extremely lucky to have fantastic weather but what a beautiful part of the UK. We needed to be near Donington race track and it was less than a 10 minute drive away. Lovely quiet village with a beautiful walk up to the church at the top of the hill. The 3 horseshoes pub for food is excellent. The cottage was lovely very clean, towels provided, comfortable beds exactly what we needed for our weekend away. A lovely little patio with furniture out the front and a kitchen with everything you needed. Thank you very much Charles and Charlotte.

The property is situated off a bridal track, surrounded by fields and glorious views. Beautiful area for walking, different walks available along the canal or through the villages.

Clean, comfortable, relaxed ... as always

My place is close to The Countryside. You’ll love my place because of the ambiance. My place is good for families (with kids) and big groups.

This wonderful spacious and stylish detached retreat is perfectly located in the East Midlands and is a great base for exploring the area. Formerly a gatehouse to Donington Hall, The Lodge is set in half an acre of maintained gardens. Close to Castle Donington village, just a few miles from Derby and with the Peak District nearby, you won't be lost for things to do in the area.
The Lodge can accommodate 10 adults and 1 child (in a captains bunk in the study area). There are 4 double bedrooms, 2 reception rooms (one with a double sofa bed), 1 study/childs bedroom, dining room comfortably seating 8 people & kitchen with range cooker.

The home is as pictured and described. Great central location in true England. Near the Midlands Airport or or less than 2 hours from London. Clean home with everything you'll need for holiday. The airport is close by and there's a racetrack close also. Donington is within a few minutes with a decent grocery etc. Derby is about 15 mins with a great downtown. So much better than staying near London as this is the real England. The home as outside and inside spaces and remains true to its English roots. I would return.

Everything in it is such high quality - from the freshly ground coffee that Mark provided, through the bed linen, comfortable beds, superb bathrooms, great kitchen, classy furnishings and fittings...even the loo rolls.

This was our first time using Airbnb and we could not have wished for a nicer room or better hosts than Andy and Basia. Andy was nice enough collect me when I had stranded myself at Donnington Park and he and Basia really are the most welcoming people. Their home is absolutely lovely and they go out of their way to make sure you have a great stay. We would 100% recommend staying with Andy and Basia and the village itself, Castle Donnington, is definitely worth a visit. 10 out of 10 on all fronts.

Myself and my girlfriend were attending a wedding at the Priest hotel and their place is situated really close to the venue which was great! It was the first time we'd used an Airbnb. Andy was very friendly and welcoming and even offered to drive us to the wedding venue! Our room was on the top floor and it was lovely and clean as well as very spacious. The bathroom was immaculate and they had a really nice living room area upstairs that we could use. I would highly recommend this place for cost and comfort!!

Basia and Andy have a lovely home, beautifully presented and spotlessly clean. Lovely and peaceful, comfortable bed and all we could want in our room - with beautiful en suite. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, sadly we did not get to meet Basia as she was away, but Andy made us very welcome. We were visiting friends in the area who did not have room to accommodate us, so this was ideal. Castle Donnington is an interesting and very attractive small town with some very interesting independent shops and cafe/restaurants. We would not hesitate to return again. Many thanks Andy & Basia.

Awesome place, right next to Donnington park. Massive private space and great hosts.

Basia and Andy's place is beautiful - spacious, very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The guest lounge is a great place to relax and it feels very private. We had an early flight from East Midlands and I was a bit concerned about disturbing Basia and Andy but they couldn't have been more friendly, welcoming and reassuring. They were very helpful with suggestions of great places to eat nearby. Thanks so much for a perfect stay!

Lovely couple.nice area...

Dave2017-05-29T00:00:00Z

Lovely place, lovely couple and nice dog! Works great for events in the Donington Park area and good value for money. Room and en suite were excellent. Area smart and Andy really helpful - even dropped us off at our destination for our party at Donington Hall. Ten outta ten for sure. Would recommend. Billy

We were at a local wedding and needed somewhere to stay – Andy and Basia's place was ideal. The room (and house) was large, modern and spotlessly clean. The bed was big and comfy. There were nice toiletries in the ensuite and a choice of loose leaf teas. Basia was friendly. She welcomed us then let us get on with it. It was no problem for us to return late; we just let ourselves in. The room was relatively quiet given its location in a town near an airport. The only downside was being woken at 4am by noise within the house - presumably an exception. But we recommend it.

Clean and tidy, comfortable, host friendly and communicative.

I had the opportunity to stay for 8 weeks at Stuart's place, in a stylishly furnished house which is clean and very centrally located. It was always a very nice atmosphere with Stuart, which makes you feel very comfortable. The location is ideal for flight students or airport employees therefore I would highly recommend Stuart.

It has been a good experience, I felt comfortable, and all my needs were satisfied. Stuart is friendly and communicative and was helpful in general. I would repeat if available.
